People call the city or the small town home for a wealth of reasons,
each having its own advantages and disadvantages.
Primarily, the small-town people espouse familiarity. In contrast,
the city dwellers hide amidst the anonymity. These statements
require further scrutiny.
In a small town or in the country, the citizens become
acquainted rather quickly. This acquaintance has several
subtopics to it. First, families become friends for many generations,
and that has a profound impact on lives. The families
sometimes intermarry. Consequently, if people do relocate, often
they later return to their original home, because both sets of parents
live there. Next, land is often involved. Therefore, a kinship
is made to the area and not only the people. It is difficult to walk
away from an inheritance involving land. Finally, people work
together on community projects, bonding them together by the
process of building something. If a new Wal-Mart comes to town,
everyone feels the spirit of progress together. This stands in
direct contrast to life in the city.
The city has many attractive features that lure, just like the
small town. The idea of not being readily recognized may appeal
to some. With several million people in a metropolis and its surrounding
areas, one could go for years and never run into an
acquaintance. They probably usually have no desire to return
someplace after they leave. There is nothing to keep them stationary.
In addition, in that there is no kinship to land, city dwellers
like the freedom of mobility. They could move every several
months and always have something new. As the city consistently
experiences growth, one may look for the best spot to live,
replete with post office, an array of restaurants, diversity of culture,
and any number of conveniences. The only link a city dweller
has in a lot of cases to anything is his own desire to be free.
The city and the small town have many benefits to consider.
What is right...
